Lose 5 Pounds a Month- June 2010 Challenge

Sian : WTG on the loss!!! You are doing great!!! Can't wait to see whan you post before and after pics!! :happy:
Heather: Great job with the bike riding!!! I miss bike riding, hopefully doon I'll get a bike...
Kelly: You are too sweet! *muah* Rememeber, a lloss is a loss is a loss! You already know what to do and I'm proud that you've come this far!!! WTG!!! :drinker: Loved the pics!!!! YOu can see a difference for sure!!
Terri: Thanks for always being positive!! You help me on days I feel like slowing down. :flowerforyou:

Hopefully I'll get some pic's of me up, I'm gonna delete all pics and upload them in order, starting with my senior year pic, then slowly coming up to my wedding pic from 08( I think was between 230-240 then ) and hopefully more recent pic of me with hiding my chubby face (trick of light and hair placement..) XoxoxoX Bru

Edited: I added pics.. the first in my photo album on this site is my Senior pic (black shirt and hair '03), then after I moved in w/ Nick ('06), My wedding ('08) My dreaded Drivers License Pic (also '08, right after the wedding in Dec, I think) Christmas pic ('09) Then me at my cousins graduation in May ('10)
Looking through all of my saved pics, these are the only 'true' pictures of me, although I have a ton, I always use my long hair to hide my cheeks and chin, or lighting and anglesof my camera phone.
I took off all of my pics on here because they weren't true pics, for example:
May (early, like the 10th or so) 2010

and the actual no lighting, etc tricks me May 22nd, 2010

I did this for years, constantly using light and angles to make myself look better on myspace and facebook, but when I look in the mirror, I'd be upset because I really didn't look like the other photos. So I decided to join here in April, and in May I did the camera trick again (with the above pic) and I told myself, no more. Only 'normal' pictures.. Sorry for rambling, lol..

Congrats to u all for doing amazing job. I weighed in today at 229lbs. That was 2lbs loss. Good evening every one and good luck

Well the scale better like me after today's workout! I started out this morning doing my belly dancing, then I took 2 walks on my breaks @ work today. Then when I got home I, once again, did C25K Day1/Week 1. I am going to do the entire week this time! After I had dinner, then I went out for a quick bike ride (storm was coming AGAIN). I'm also up to about 25 8oz of my H2O for the day. I may have one or two more before I turn in for the night. But all in all I call today a success! Now I get to do it all again tomorrow! However tomorrow I will do my Jillian Shred on my rest day from C25K.

Here's to all of us having a GREAT week! :drinker:

Hey June Challengers!

I was sick for a few days and started eating "normal food" on sunday night. Decided to wait til today to weigh in to let the water weight loss from sickness go away!

Happy to say I'm down 2 lbs! wahoo!

Officially 126.5.

1.5 away from June goal!

Ok.....So I know I'm starting late but I really want in on this. I am currently 158. I am going to make my June goal 2 pounds, since I have a week and a half. So I need encouragement! Thanks.

salcala: Welcome!! I think you'll fit in the group just fine. C25k is Couch to 5k. It's a plan to prep you to run a 5k or just learn to run without being winded. You can find the plan at coolrunnning.com There is also phone apps for it too if you need it. Just search C25k on your phone. I have a droid and searched it and I found a free app and love it!



So many new members!! Welcome to all (sorry if I missed anyone)
I told my Mom and a couplle of aunts that I'm having a small bbq this Saturday to show off my almost finished kitchen. It's been almost 2yrs since I've had a kitchen (which was when we still lived at a different house..) and the hubby has been taking his sweet *kitten* time :grumble: There's not much left to do, and I wanted to have a huge bbq, but for now, it's just gonna like a female bbq only Grilling up some boneless skinless chicken filets, and I have some red onion, broccoli, tomatoes, red potatoes, green pepper, cucumber..I'm sure I can figure out something! Hope you all have a fantastic week and I'll see you all around Friday

Hello ladies! It is time for me to make a confession.

I haven't been posting much (though I have been reading) because I am having a REALLY hard time getting back in the game. I went on a junk food binge followed by a week of vacation followed by family visiting, and I have gained a lot through this process. I have felt like such a loser! I didn't want to tell you my weight until I got to a "safe weight" so I have just been staying away. I realize now how ridiculous this sounds.... as if you guys would judge me, as if we all don't have the same goal!

So here it is. First, I am changing scales. I have been weighing on both for awhile but the convenient one gives a higher weight (about 2 lbs higher) and I started on the less convenient one, so I always post the lower weight! This is the best time to switch scales though since I have gained a lot. I am weighing in at 162. Just a few weeks ago, I was at 154 at an all time low. I feel like I have totally blown it but I am ready to move forward now! I haven't gone on a crazy binge since I started in January so it was bound to happen. Time to move on!

I know this is a bit ridiculous but I feel so relieved now! Phew!
